PATENT OFFICE.

FRED E. SMITH, OF HOUSTON, TEXAS.

BUSHING EXTRACTOR.

Application filed April 3, 1923. Serial No. 629,586.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED H. SMITH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Houston, inthe county of Harris and State of Texas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bushing Extractors, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a bushingextractor.

One object of the invention is to provide an extractor of the characterdescribed specially designed for the purpose of removing the bushingfrom the spindle body of a Ford automobile.

Another object of the invention is to provide an extractor of thecharacter described which is of Very simple construction, which may becheaply and easily manufactured and readily applied in use.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particularrelation to cer tain novel features of construction, operation, andarrangement of parts, and example of which is given in thisspecification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

wherein Figure 1 shows a plan view of one of the halves or sections ofthe extractor.

Figure 2 shows an end view thereof.

Figure 3 shows an edge view thereof.

Figure 4: shows a longitudinal sectional view of the spindle body,showing the position the halves or sections of the extractor must assumebefore they are brought into operative position and,

Figure 5 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a spindle body with theextractor therein in position for use.

In the drawings the numeral 1 designates a spindle body which is tubularin form and which has the end bushings 2 and 3 therein. These bushingsmust, at times, be extracted or removed for repairs and replacements.For this purpose I have provided an extractor formed of the halves orsection t and 5. When these sections are fitted together they form anenlarged head 6 which is adapted to abut against the inner end of thebushing, when it is desired to remove the same, as illustrated in Figure5. The inner sides of the sections 4 and 5 are cut away as at 7 and 8forming what might be termed countersunk portions. In order to insertthe extractor they are placed together with the fiat sides against eachother, and the head of one section drawn back or away from the head ofthe other section until it rests in the countersunk portion of thelatter, as illustrated in Figure 4, and the entire device is theninserted through the bushing to be drawn until the gauge notch 9 or 10,as the case may be, of the one last to enter comes opposite the outerend of the bushing. The other section is then drawn back to likeposition, that is until the gauge notches 9 and 10 are opposite eachother. The head 6 will then assume the position shown in Figure 5resting against the inner end of the bushing, and a punch may then beinserted through the opposite end of the spindle body and against theextractor and the bushing may be then easily driven out.

What I claim is 1. A bushing extractor including a body formed of twosections, an enlarged head at one end of said body forming an annularshoulder, a deep slot at the other end of said body, said sections beingformed with fiat faces, at the enlarged end which fit together when theextractor is in use.

2. A bushing extractor formed of two lengthwise sections having flatfaces which fit together at one end, an enlarged head carried by saidend forming an abrupt shoulder, said faces being spaced apart at theother end forming a deep slot, the spaced faces being gauged.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
